Solutions for a One-Year-Old Baby’s Runny Nose

Question

What should I do if my one-year-old baby keeps having a runny nose?

Answer

Hello, such babies usually have pale complexion, yellow or soft hair, and sometimes experience indigestion or are prone to catching colds. They may also cry easily at night, have difficulty falling asleep, and be easily startled. These symptoms are a result of the baby’s spleen deficiency. The spleen and stomach are the foundation for postnatal health and the source of Qi and blood. The nose is an opening of the lung, and children often have weak spleens. If the baby’s diet is rich, it is more likely to suffer from poor digestion in the spleen and stomach.
